Abstract

In a semiconductor device, an imbedded insulating layer is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of electric circuits are formed on the imbedded insulating layer so as to be insulated each other, and are capacitively coupled through the semiconductor substrate. Wiring layers are formed on the electric circuits, and include inside electrodes which are capacitively coupled to the electric circuits. The electric circuits are connected through capacitors which are formed through the semiconductor substrate, and through capacitors which are formed through the electrodes.
